Squeaky-Voiced Teen (SVT) is one of the few teenagers in Springfield and is perpetually trapped in a series of dead-end jobs. He has acne, bad posture and his voice is in the process of breaking.
He is voiced by Dan Castellaneta.
Name[]
In "Full Heart, Empty Pool" opening scene spends the most time on his domestic life where his home and parents are shown and his name is very specifically given as Andrew Teen.
In "Beware My Cheating Bart" working at the Brown Burrito at the food court at the Springfield Mall has a nametag with Steve.
In "G.I. D'oh" where the bullies Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney work at the shoe store The Sole Provider at the Springfield Mall, they refer to him as Mr. Freedman.
In "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy", Abe Simpson quits his job at Krusty Burger and addresses him as Mr. Peterson (and referred to him as "Old Man Peterson" when Abe was trying to make another teenaged fast food worker laugh by putting his dentures in a burger bun).
In a deleted scene from "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" Seymour Skinner" where Principal Skinner and Bart are on a carnival haunted house ride and the character was dressed up as Count Dracula and Principal Skinner called him Jeremy which is available to watch on The Complete Fifth Season DVD.[1]
On "Selma's Choice," he had blond hair, worked at Duff Gardens as an operator on "The Barrel Roll," was named Mitch, and had a supervisor who is also a pimple-faced teenager with a breaking voice named Jim.
Some of names he is referred to as are Pimple-Faced Teen, Puberty Boy, Geeky Teenager and Teenage Clerk.
Jobs[]
He is often seen working in many low pay, low skill and low status jobs. While he's often seen working at fast-food restaurants, like Krusty Burger and Gulp 'n Blow, Squeaky-Voice Teen can also be seen working at the Springfield Googleplex Theater (where mainstream Hollywood movies are shown), The Aztec Theater (where B-movies and camp classics, such as the Space Invaders movies, Honk If You're Horny, Too Many Grandmas, The Itchy & Scratchy Movie, the Springfield Film Festival, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Showgirls [the latter two of which are actual films that have gained followings as campy cult movies after being lambasted by mainstream audiences and critics], are shown); the Mom & Pop Hardware store, Barney's Bowlarama (where the gag that his mother is Lunchlady Doris, who disowns him for being unable to rent a lane to his own mother on League Night)[2], and Duff Gardens (where he went by the name "Mitch" and had a supervisor who was also a pimple-faced teenager with a breaking voice). He was also employed at Book Returns[3] and Moe's Express. A rudimentary version of the character was employed at the Springfield public access television station (see "Homer Badman" episode).
He was in a managerial position at a shoe store, employing Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney.[4]
Furthermore, he worked at a Mexican restaurant called The Brown Burrito, in which he wore a name tag bearing the name Steve.[5]
Personal life[]
He once tried to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, because FOX canceled Futurama (which did happen in real life around the time the episode aired, although the series had since been revived several times). He landed in a car, in which two teens were making out, crushing one of them. The attractive girl, shocked he crushed her boyfriend, assumed he must be awesomely good at love-making and immediately proceeded to make out with him.[6]
He was also in a relationship with Mom, an employee at the Mom & Pop Hardware store.[7]
When Lindsey Naegle once suggested they "kill every child... friendly thing in town", he lost his squeaky voice to "become a man".[8]
Family[]
Little is known about his family with the fullest depiction in the opening scene of "Full Heart, Empty Pool". His home including his bedroom, his pet guinea pig, his father and mother Mr. and Mrs. Teen are shown and his parents repeatedly call him Andrew.
In "Team Homer" it was previously hinted that his mother is Lunchlady Doris, who has disowned him.
He also has an unseen Catholic aunt mentioned in the Simpsons Comics.

Behind the Laughter[]

Also on the same commentary track Simpsons creator Matt Groening said he was his 2nd favorite unnamed character after Comic Book Guy.
The Squeaky-Voiced Teen appears briefly on The Simpsons Ride, a theme park attraction in Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando. He complains that the audience needs to keep quiet while he studies for a math test and aims to get a C.
